Beauty-book-buy of the week

“It is said that no star is a heroine to her makeup artist”

- Richard Corliss

It's that time of the week again! Another great book to check out, by a great makeup artist.

I'm a huge Bobbi Brown fan, she's a beauty pioneer who made it possible for women to look amazing without slapping on the makeup with a kitchen spatula! In fact I remember passing her books in Barnes & Nobles when I was in high school and flipping through the pages in complete awe, it's where I first learned of my passion for makeup, and the reason why i wanted to pursue it. This book is a favorite because it gives you a new fresh take on application and technique in addition to helpful tips for the trickiest times. Such as days where you may feel a little frumpy, makeup during pregnancy, and an overall "honest approach" on how to make others, or yourself look best naturally. Also, a great read for anyone a little fuzzy on how to correctly wear foundation! She's an influence to me, and I know she would be one for you if she isn't already.

About Me

I'm a small pond fish now thrust into the competitive world of Art, Makeup, Beauty and Fashion. Though I come with "papers" i wouldn't consider myself a "Guru," rather someone learning, loving, and happy to share my knowledge along the way. Art, technique and beauty is all in the eye of the beholder. You'll never hear any "hating" here, I believe we all have something unique to offer. Like an art palette, mixing many mediums, colors, and types of paint to create a work of art I will do that here. But with makeup. I will show you expensive, and inexpensive makeup and accessories of various textures and brands. Old and new. A mix and match so to speak. A good artist can create a beautiful masterpiece using anything....
